Abstract
A medical garment is provided that includes fabric fitted for an upper torso of a patient whereby a separable length is formed in the fabric with fastening strips fastened along the separable length, which may be used by the patient when dressing, undressing, bathing and during examinations by a healthcare professional.
Description
- The present invention generally relates to medical garments, and more particularly to a medical garment for rehabilitation patients specially designed to provide pain management and ease frustration with dressing, undressing, rehabilitation, and bathing.
- Some medical wear does not accommodate patients with certain upper torso, shoulder, or cephalic injuries. Neither does some medical wear provide ease of use for both a patient and a caregiver. Current medical garments do not allow easy access to areas of a patient's torso and upper body by a caregiver.
- As can be seen, there is a need for an improved apparatus that accommodates a patient's and caregiver's use of a medical garment and provides easier access to a patient's upper body for a caregiver.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a medical garment comprises a fabric, the fabric configured to fit an upper torso, the fabric having a collar, a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a bottom opening, a separable length, the separable length being formed in the fabric, a first strip of fastening tape, the first strip affixed to a first side of the separable length, and a second strip of fastening tape, the second strip of fastening tape being complementary to the first strip of fastening tape, and the second strip of fastening tape affixed to a second side of the separable length.
- In another aspect of the present invention, a medical garment comprises a fabric, the fabric having a collar, a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a bottom opening, a first separable length of the fabric, the first separable length of the fabric running between one of the collar and the first sleeve, and the first sleeve and the bottom opening, a second separable length of the fabric, the second separable length of the fabric running between one of the collar and the second sleeve, and the second sleeve and the bottom opening, a first strip of fastening tape, the first strip affixed to a first side of the first separable length of the fabric, a second strip of fastening tape, the second strip affixed to a second side of the first separable length of the fabric, a third strip of fastening tape, the third strip affixed to a first side of the second separable length of the fabric, and a fourth strip of fastening tape, the fourth strip affixed to a second side of the second separable length of the fabric.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
-
FIG. 1 is an oblique perspective view of a medical garment according to an embodiment of the present invention in use; -
FIG. 2 is an oblique perspective view of the medical garment shown inFIG. 1 in use in a partially unsnapped configuration; -
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the medical garment shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a detail side perspective view of a snap of the medical garment shown inFIG. 1 in an unsnapped configuration; and -
FIG. 5 is a detail side perspective view of a snap of the medical garment shown inFIG. 1 in a snapped configuration. - The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
